What other protection will I need for my computer if I buy Avast?
by skyler on March 4, 2010Q: I was thinking of not renewing Norton on my PC and going with avast 5. A friend told me I would also need to download an anti-malware, firewall and sandbox. If so, what software works best with Avast?

I suggest you try out Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
It’s free and covers you for anti-virus and anti-malware.
If you have a router in place already and running an up-to-date version of Windows you should be covered for any type of real firewall need.
